The Lion Eating the Sun
Nuzzle
I write a message addressed to the cosmos
And hope the weatherman picks it up.
Not feeling the sunny sky of the town of Vamos,
Other shades of blue are not enough.
If by design you get to read my letter,
Forgive humanity for its unintentional crime.
Heed my request to make me feel better,
Please nuzzle up against me one more time.
Tap your paw from left to right
In a metronomical loop made by an identical tail.
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Into the cosmic future we both shall sail.
Get inside my bag that appears to be empty,
Inside you scream and scratch my skin.
I trade my blood for your serenity.
Our souls converge, you are my twin.
Let me call your name twice 'cause I'm compulsive
Or obsessive, in the watching eyes of them.
Though I lean more towards being protective,
I'll keep you safe in Bethlehem.
Hop in my bed, proceed to annoy
Me with your innocence, you little beast.
Too much devotion for such a boy,
You deserve an extraterrestrial feast.
The lion eating the sun is a given
And so is Maui snatching somebody else's eyes.
But do not depart yet to rainbow heaven,
Time you spent with me is not yet wise.
Too late, you now decompose to dust
And live in a star where you'll spend your prime.
My plea before memory begins to rust:
Please nuzzle up against me one last time
Maybe
Agitated clouds, flighty waves
The ocean's about to turn crazy
Will the boat flip? Am I brave?
Can I jump in the sea, maybe?
Up ahead, there's an island
From where I'm at though it's hazy
Shelter? People? I need to scan
Could there be a monster, maybe?
Sneaky holes under my feet
Salty water's becoming weighty
The thought of leaving is bittersweet
Will the familiar save me, maybe?
Sunk or sundered, any droplet now
From the inside out, it's getting rainy
I have to decide anyhow
Stay or go? I don't know, maybe?
Miss You
The day I greet
with a dessert so sweet
my tongue and ice cream meet
but I miss you
The sale is so fly
puts me on a retail high
dropping I ought to try
but I miss you
Jumanji is fun
more animals, less gun
with adrenaline they run
but I miss you
The Chainsmokers are on air
pairs making out everywhere
I act like I don't care
but I miss you
A falling star appears
I hold back my tears
it's been so many years
still I miss you
The pillow's my companion
helpful to my imagination
sweeps my feelings of rejection
still I miss you
The sun's in a good mood
I have no reason to brood
over feelings skewed
but I miss you
The waves look inviting
sand on my feet are scorching
bodies are delighting
my hormones but I miss you
Don's tail is wagging
he hugs me and starts licking
my fingers as they start tickling
his belly but I miss you
My new shirt's print
in the color of peppermint
is reminiscent of Miley's stint
still I miss you
I'm running a bit late
to my rendezvous with a new date
hope favorable is my fate
so I won't miss you
We have Chinese for dinner
I want to believe I have a winner
so again I can be a beginner
then I don't miss you
Under the moonlight we share a kiss
is this
a kiss? where is
the bliss?
(can't help but reminisce...)
something's amiss
because I miss you.
